Love Is Murder

Love is Murder took place this past weekend and I have to say it was one of the best events we’ve done in a while. We had a great time. Wonderful group of people, good panels, nice dealerroom, nice hotel for the conference and even good banquet food.

This years author guests included Kent Krueger, David Morrell, Judith Guest, Libby Fischer Hellman, and Barry Eisler. Many others in attenance. Morrell gave a great talk Friday night about the history of publishing and what has changed and why authors need to be more involved in thier marketing. Ruth moderated a panel on Sex and Jo Konrath hosted STUMP THE STARS which was a laugh riot.
We’ll definitly be going again.Thriller panel moderated by Sean Chercover who's first book will be out next January from William Morrow, Barry Eisler, Kevin Guifoile, Julie Hyzy, David Morrell, Michael Black and Robert W Walker

For my first LIM conference I must say it is among my best memories of a conference. Getting to meet David Morrell still has my heart racing. The tings he said were sinpiring for me as a publisher and I have been working feverishly since I left the Friday night dinner. I so enjoyed sitting on the panels with Ben and Allison (I am sure I spelled that wrong). But anyway. I am so tickled to have met everyone, and really enjoyed talking to you Jon.

I hate it when you argue! All of you. I’m running away as soon as you go out bowling. This time I mean it!
